Well, to play devil's advocate, maybe he has heard that line from a lot of people and is tired of it. My last name is shared by several well-known famous people, and is spelled and pronounced phonetically. Yet, people insist on spelling and pronouncing it wrong. I am snappier about it than I should be, simply because it's the billionth time and I've had it.
Basically, you complimented his car by telling him he couldn't control something that powerful unless he took extra care. I can see where he felt like you were being a ****. Not that you were, he just got the meaning of your words different than you intended them. Similar to when I tell someone "You look nice today" and they shoot back "So I looked bad on other days?"
